    The name, Nyctiphanes australis, means southern winking light and refers to the bioluminescence produced by a series of photophore organs along the length of the body. These organs are typical of euphausiids. South-eastern Australian waters (Dakin and Colefax 1940, Sheard 1953, Blackburn 1980). Southern New Zealand (Mauchline 1969, 1980,).
    Nyctiphanes australis feeds primarily on phytoplankton but it will also feed on zooplankton, detritus, flocculent organic matter and faeces. In doing so, it plays a key role in recycling organic matter, which would otherwise sink to the bottom, back into flesh available for higher order predators.
    Most published information on Nyctiphanes focuses on the two species from the Pacific Ocean, N. australis G.O. Sars, 1883 and N. simplex Hansen, 1911, and considerably less is known on the biology and ecology of N. couchii ( Bell, 1853) and N. capensis Hansen, 1911 from the Atlantic Ocean.
    Nyctiphanes australis range extends from approximately Sydney round the southern coast through Bass Strait to central South Australia, and throughout all Tasmanian coastal waters (Nyan Taw 1978, Ritz and Hosie 1982): approximately 31 to 44º S and between 132 and 156ºE.
